January 2017: 30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day Two

Cloud Study - 40x30cm - soft pastels - available

As always seems to be the case when I'm doing the 30 in 30, an inspiration overtakes my senses and this time it's the clouds I can from my window over the sea. The winter palette is fascinating as I strive to match and mix my pastels to the hues sweeping through the sky.

It may only be day two but it's great to hone the discipline of drawing every day again and work it into the hub of my daily focus (it certainly beats the accounts and paperwork that I usually make myself do first in the name of efficiency!). I have a number of projects to do during this month but for now simply working with the pastels is sating the creative desire within.
